Guangzhou win CSL relegation battle, earn first point

Guangzhou Evergrande have secured their place in the Chinese Super League (CSL) for next season after defeating Changchun Yatai 2-1 at the Guangzhou Evergrande Arena on Saturday night.

The victory was a major boost for the club as they were relegated from the top flight last season and had to fight hard to avoid being relegated again this term.

After a goalless first half, the visitors took the lead through Luiz Christiano in the 64th minute before Guangzhou equalised through Victor Wang in the 77th minute.

But Changchun failed to find the back of the net in the final minutes of the game and Guangzhou went on to secure their place in the league next season.

It was a much-needed win for the team as they will now be able to focus on preparing for the new season and building towards achieving greater success in the future.

Overall, it was a significant achievement for Guangzhou and one that could help them build momentum heading into the new campaign. With a strong squad and a solid foundation, they should be well placed to challenge for honours once more next season.
